You're paranoid.

You are correct. I have to be. I am involved in computer security.

Do you follow your credit card when the
waiter/waitress takes it to scan? I didn't think so.

I pay cash. Where I do use a credit card, it NEVER leaves
my sight.

I have used
credit cards for many, many years, including buying loads of stuff on
the internet, and have never experienced any fraud.

If you must order on line, have a good anti virus, such as Kaspersky
and DO NOT USE INTERNET EXPLORER. Use Firefox (http://www.mozilla.com)
instead.

Also, most home owners policy's have an identity theft protection
option. They are usually very cheap.

And, keep are very close eye on your accounts. It can
take YEARS to clear your name.
